Abstract:

The major tasks of this project include procuring the two AUTOSENSE III units; selecting a site on I-4 for installation of the units, installing the units successfully on I-4, establishing a remote communication link through cellular data line to download data form the units, and evaluating the data received from the two units. All these tasks were accomplished successfully during this project. The laser detection technology in Orlando, Florida tested two units in the westbound direction. The two units were mounted overhead nearby Lake Ivanhoe. In order to validate the AUTOSENSE III counts, the same site was videotaped using the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) cameras for three days from 6 to 10 AM and the video counts were used as ground truth. Since the AUTOSENSE III devices can provide vehicle classification of up to 11 types of vehicles, it was important to test the vehicle classification capabilities as well. For the purpose of the study, only trucks were identified as a major type of vehicle. (29 p.)
